More than 100,000 NEXUS cards have been issued in the Buffalo-Niagara region to speed border crossings.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says a youth hockey player from Niagara Falls, Ontario became the 100,000th NEXUS cardholder on Friday. An event was held to celebrate the milestone. Buffalo Sabres mascot Sabretooth and team announcer Rick Jeanneret presented 13-year-old Seth Hollett with a Sabres sweater.
